When I have occasion to attend an exhibition of Classic Art, I remember a thought (I believe that it is from Gore Vidal) "We must not forget that we descend from the barbarians, the civilized lost" Following images were taken in the exhibition organized about the Discóbolo in the Archaeological Museum of Alicante, it was a good measure of the magnitude of the loss. You can see another point of view about the same exhibition (with better images) in . http://www.pbase.com/pacolopez/16180339887
